"Pop quiz, hotshots: You live in a world in which the zombies have taken over, and one of the people in charge is Dennis Hopper. What do you do?

Much of the movie's fun comes from the fact that Romero is behind the camera at all. Romero hadn't made a widely distributed movie since 1993's "The Dark Half," and he hadn't dealt with zombies since "Day of the Dead" in 1985. Read the full review

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C+
"...doesn't lack for creeps. It's just likely not the kind of complete frightfest that will have you wanting to go back for seconds."
Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"Gore is good; I like to see scabby-faced fellows gnaw on human femurs as much as the next guy. But also good is plot, character and a sense of purpose, all of which are sorely lacking."
Cox News Service: C
"...you may rethink your desire to wear a bellybutton ring."
Middletown Journal: B
"Romero's teeth may not be at their sharpest, but 'Land of the Dead' proves his bite still smarts."
